Thelma & Louise Special Edition
Great Value. Great Movie. What else can I say!
Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon & very HOT Brad Pitt.


Be careful which version you get...
Giving this 4 stars because while the DVD would get 5, the fact that MGM misleads consumers several times makes it drop a star.

There are 5 DVD versions of Thelma and Louise:

1. Orion edition - the first release of the film, it was in a snapper case by Orion Pictures. It's been Out of Print for quite some time.
2. MGM first edition - essentially the Orion disc, but in the first MGM case (with the blue sky background and the snapshot of T&L)
3. MGM Special Edition (with slipcover) - a flipper disc with the special features, the slipcover is different from the regular cover art.
4. MGM Special Edition (without slipcover) - same as #3, sans slipcover. It's still a flipper disc.
5. MGM standard edition - Essentially the first MGM edition, except with the new transfer used on the special edition, and it's not a flipper (so you don't get the documentaries, trailers, music video, or storyboards). The coverart is exactly like the MGM special edition (without slipcover), though there is no "Special Edition" banner.

MGM's DVD factories or wherever they make their DVDs sometimes mess up and put the Special Edition cover art in cases with the standard edition.

To always make sure you get the actual special edition, make sure it comes with the cardboard slipcover. Because 9 times out of 10, if you pick up one that says Special Edition and it's a single-sided disc, you got the standard edition with the wrong cover art.

I got burned at Sears when I purchased Thelma and Louise: Special Edition, and discovered to my horror it was the standard edition. I had to go to Sam Goody and find the slipcovered-special edition and buy it again to make sure it was the actual flipper disc.

Thelma and Louise
One of the most beautiful looking movies I have ever seen. Ridley Scott made a visually captivating and resonant movie that captured such beautiful sceneries in America. It provided a beautiful backdrop to Thelma and Louise as they had the roadtrip of their lifetime (which is sadly literally)

The movie started out that seemed to be headed into a movie about girls having fun but an unfortunate (or in their case was it a blessing in disguise) incident led them to something both of them never imagined.

Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis gave tour de force performances as they embodied their roles perfectly. It's hard to tell which one gave the better performance there are times that I think Sarandon is better and there are times that I think Davis is better. I guess it just means that repeated viewings make you see important details of their acting.

I always regard the ending of the movie as one of the best and one of the most memorable (together with Seven, Casablanca, Butch Cassidy to name a few). When I first saw it, I was just in shock, in awe, moved at how the movie turned out to be. And every time I see the movie it never fails to captivate me. Truly one the most perfect endings in movie history.

Grade: A
